Very, very disappointed. Small in size and diameter. For 118.00 I really expected more. I have bought flowers from other florist, for the price,that puts your arrangement to shame. Needless to say, never again!

Hi Rex,
This arrangement cost was $100 which falls in our medium or coffee table size range ($80-120). Our flowers are sometimes more costly than our competitors due to the extreme freshness of our product. Flowers from South America arrive to us within a day or two of being cut from the farm. That takes many hands on product, which isn't cheap, but it is quality. If this arrangement doesn't last at least 2 weeks with proper care, that is when we have not done our job.

Hi James,
If you take a look at the date on the email you've responded to, this is an order you placed a year ago. The current picture should be in an email that came today. We did make and have already delivered your roses. I will call you.

We ordered two arrangements, the other was beautiful. This, however, is not what we were expecting from the “Peach Blossom” arrangement - you can look it up on their website and see how it should look. We understand the flowers are based on availability and it's a holiday, as it's not our first time ordering from here or any flower shop but this review is primarily for the customer service from the woman who picked up the phone at George's when we called specifically when the email and text message says: “Please review your order! If you are not satisfied, please call us before reviewing so we can fix it!” We called and said the colors didn't really coordinate, primarily the pink and purple flowers where she then began to lecture me how it's noted it's based on availability online, which we already know, again was seeing if there's a way to make it look more cohesive. She then starts to get defensive and states “it looks beautiful to me”, but the flowers aren't for her neither paid by her. She then informs me that the arrangement is already out for delivery and if any changes are needed the flowers they'll have to be brought back, modified, and sent out again after again just receiving the note to review the arrangements for any feedback but again never confirmed if they can actually make the colors look coordinated and not thrown together, which given that it was a holiday we imagine it was slim odds. We inquired typically how long after the photos are sent do we have to review it and provide the feedback that is literally stated on the messages where she immediately goes on the defense saying “photos are a courtesy, nothing else” while once again the message is to call if you're not satisfied. We told her we were inquiring because it seems like mixed messaging but again she was determined to have an excuse for everything, while again this is not our first time ordering from them. If there are no modifications then either the messaging should change or the woman delivering that news. We've ordered dozens of arrangements from here over the years but because of this interaction with this woman we'll be looking for better customer service elsewhere. Edited to add after store response: Thanks for not fully reading my response at all, the customer service really shines through management too. I also appreciated the text and email asking for feedback and improvements even today when they seem to really value their customers. I'd give zero stars if I could.

Photos are sent as a courtesy so you can see what was sent, not to make changes during our busiest holiday of the year. It is also worth mentioning you ordered an arrangement that was not on our designated Mother's Day menu. Therefore, like any arrangement not on the holiday menu, they will be subject to substitutions. We did offer to pick it up and change it, but you declined. On a day when we have 200+ orders to deliver, there is no way we can hold every order for approval. You are more than welcome to bring your business elsewhere.

This was not what I ordered. I asked for two types of flowers. I had to have it returned and has no options to get what was needed/requested. George's has always been so good and trusted- maybe it was the busy Mothers Day weekend? Thanks for the photo to identify.

Hi Victoria,
I have credited your account for the mix up. Sorry about that misunderstanding! For future reference, an arrangement of only callas and tulips on a holiday weekend is usually not doable which is why we often offer a mix to include the requested flowers.

I asked you to take a look in person & tell us if we needed to make changes since you had only seen the photo. You said nothing to us when you picked up. How are we to know you're unhappy? How are we to know it needs to be fixed? If you had voiced your concerns we could have made it right before you left.

A major disappointment. This was a gift for Easter for my Beloved. She was pleased by my thoughtfulness but within two days, some the petals had fallen off, the flowers were so tightly arranged in the vase that she could not get them out to refresh the stems by cutting. While I am no expert on flower arrangement and I appreciated the picture, it certainly didn't remind me of Spring time but more of a random arrangement old flowers surrounding uninteresting greenery. When I asked her how they were holding up for her family visit toda, she gave me the assessment I have written above They did not survive for the family arrival. On the bright side, the person taking the order was very pleasant and helpful, the delivery was punctual I have dealt with you for years but will reconsider placing another order in the future. Thanks for your inquiry and I hope this was helpful. hayden

Hi Kristie,
This was a hospital order and your recipient was not assigned a room until after our delivery hours yesterday. We cannot deliver to the hospital until their staff can confirm a room for us. It is also worth noting, the arrangement is exactly as it is called, an artisan's choice. This means you give us free reign to choose the flowers. The photo online is an example of style, not a carbon copy of what your arrangement will look like. One of our staff did reach out to discuss all of this with you. They left a voicemail for you, emailed, and spoke with a coworker who stated he would pass the message along.

Unfortunately, this arrangement did not look like the posted picture. For the amount spend, I would have thought it would have been more time given and matching the example given online. They look to have been just crammed into vase with no order. Not satisfied with this particular purchase.

Hi Deborah,
We talked at length about the size of the arrangement and I did mention this would be a bud vase as the price point you wanted was below the starting price of our smallest arrangements. It was also explained that every flower you requested is a premium flower and therefore more expensive. I stated several times this would be a few stems in a vase with minimal greenery. As for the additional fees, we are required to charge you sales tax and we have no power over that. You also requested delivery and gas costs money. All of the flowers were fresh and therefore closed, so she will get to watch it bloom and enjoy it much longer than your typical grocery store flowers. I'm sorry you weren't pleased, but we made exactly what you asked for and what you would get was explained thoroughly.
